//I’m taking signups for my ARC team if you’re interested. Also some analyses on books I’ve been reading and some advice for the newbie-r writers out there on not trying to do too much. Also, keeping secrets too long.
First Cup of Coffee – February 21, 2025
//On the exciting Murderbot adaptation news, less happy ACOTAR adaptation news, and why authors have to expect to give up creative control on these things. Also, why I switched projects and the importance of being honest with ourselves as creators so we can hear our intuition through the emotional jingle-jangle.
First Cup of Coffee – February 17, 2025
//On professional jealousy (yes, it’s real), that one guy who *has* to say something, and print runs in traditional publishing. What we do and don’t know, the effect of print on demand, and other forms of black magic, smoke & mirrors.
First Cup of Coffee – February 14, 2025
//My VOW for Girls project – a special treat for you all. About the new book in my favorite series and how I miss the edge it once had. Also: endorsement quotes (or blurbs) – do they work? Does anyone care? I say YES.
First Cup of Coffee – February 10, 2025
//Why I’m participating in VOW for Girls to stop child marriage, thoughts on donating (& why you don’t have to), joy, best ways to build and refine craft, why I don’t journal, and how I’m a Swiftie forever.

//The RELUCTANT WIZARD audiobook is available wide! Preorder NEVER THE ROSES at B&N for 35% off today only! Also, my editorial meeting, participation in VOW for Girls, and the unbearable loudness of casita-building.
First Cup of Coffee – February 3, 2025
//My weekend with Darynda and a report on her and thoughts on the joy of writing and living life the way we want to. Also a special FaRoFeb present! And listening to audiobooks at higher speeds – why is Audible against it?
